Colorfin LLC is devoted to the creation and production of innovative
materials for fine art and craft.

Colorfin was founded with the sole purpose of expanding the choice
of contemporary materials and tools available to artists.

All of Colorfin products begin life in the art studio; they are
developed in the Colorfin laboratory and then return to the studio
for extensive testing to ensure that they offer high quality and practical
materials for today’s artist. Our aim is not to replace existing
materials, but to enhance the process of making art by offering new materials
and stimulating artistic expression.

Colorfin co-founders - Ladd Forsline & Bernadette
Ward - are veterans of the art & craft supplies market - they have
more than 35 years combined experience in the industry.

Ladd Forsline is an artist and inventor. He graduated
from the prestigious MFA program at the Yale School of Art in 1988, and
went on to set up Forsline & Starr Ltd, the company behind such inventions
as Colour Shaper® and OilBar®. These products, which were revolutionary
at the time of launch, have now become standard tools & materials
for artists and crafters.

Bernadette Ward has spent her career working internationally
as a marketing and business development professional across a number of
markets including cosmetics and fast moving consumer goods; and for a
large part of her career she has been involved in the art and design supplies
industry. Bernadette is an international business graduate of the National
University of Ireland (Galway).
